[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-3992) Race condition in JBossManagedConnectionFactory

Race condition in JBossManagedConnectionFactory ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3992 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3992 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JCA service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA Environment: I'm running JBoss 4.0.4.GA on jaba 1.5.0_07-b03. I haven't tried a newer JBoss, however the code I've determined is causing the problem looks the same on 5.0.0.Beta1. Reporter: Derek Lewis Assigned To: Weston Price The problem happens when calling flush() on JBossManagedConnectionPool via the jmx-console. If a call to getConnection() is made by the application at the same time, there is a potential for getConnection() to throw a ResourceException saying "The pool has been shutdown". Thread 1: calls flush() Thread 2: calls getConnection() In Thread 1, in JBossManagedConnectionPool.flush(), after the pools are iterated through and shut down (this is synchronized on subPools). Assume that a context switch happens here, and Thread 2 runs now, with Thread 1 paused, before calling subPools.clear(). When thread 2 gets to where it calls getSubPool(...), this is not synchronized, so subPools.get(key) returns a pool which is not null though it has been shutdown), and returns it. getConnection() is then called on this pool, causing the exception to be thrown. Thread 1 then proceeds to clear the pool, so that the shutdown subpools are not returned. (But it's too late for this one case)
